Victoria and Albert Museum – Patchwork: Pattern Maker. Upload your photo and it will break it down into a quilting pattern for you. Very, very cool. (Via the always awesome NotMartha.)
I am really enjoying Mother Jones editorial intern Tim Murphy’s Road Trip for America’s Future blog, particularly this post about Popcorn Sutton, the last of the Tennessee Moonshiners.
Did you know that the wild tiger population has dropped 96.8% in the last 20 years? Or that there are only 3200 tigers left in the wild? I find this very upsetting.
Amy at Angry Chicken made the coolest giant outdoor chalkboards for her kids! 4′x4′ plywood painted with chalkboard paint. So simple and brilliant. I’m thinking about making these for when we have kids visit the farm.

Cassie Boon put out a call to women to write letters to their 20-year-old selves. I’m working on mine (I’ll post here after I submit it) but I’ve really enjoyed reading the letters other women have submitted.
Why does American Rose suck? Good question.
It’s the 50th anniversary of To Kill a Mockingbird- my all time favorite Southern novel. I love this Anna Quindlen piece on the Greatness of Scout.
I love absolutely everything about this Bontemps Cowl over at The Pomegranate Chronicles. So lovely.

That clock…. love!
what?! you can’t buy the knitting clock?!
Well, one of my favorites isn’t nearly as esoteric as your picks, Susie, but a lot funnier. (Some of these are a little gross, so just be prepared)

Love the clock!
To kill a Mockingbird is one of my husbands favorite movies (Ive been looking for a remasterd dvd, shouldnt there be one??) We actually inadvertantly met Mary Badham (Scout) last year. She works as an art conservator outside Richmond! It was so cool.
I love the packing tape that looks like hinges. I went to the site and couldn’t find a place to click to buy it. Can anyone help me?
I just looked at that link for people of walmart…oh my!
My Father in Law used to work for one of the local school boards and decided to bring home numerous school chalkboards from a renovation. My hubby actually hung one on our house for our daughter, and she loves it!! It’s huge (4 x 8 at least) and on sunny days when she is done drawing she just sprays it down with the hose and starts again. If we lived closer together I’d bring you a couple!
That clock is the most amazing thing I have seen in a long time. Maybe it will be for sale after the Show. At quite a price, but soooo cool.
One of my favorite local jewelry artists. You can find him at the C’ville City Market and on line here http://www.jasonmcleod.com/jasonmcleodjewelryhome.html

Love the tequila recipe! Can’t wait to try it. I came across these fun cupcake goodies today – http://www.cakespy.bigcartel.com/ . They also have an amazing website at http://www.cakespy.com/ .There was a cupcake and muffin picture somewhere on the site that I can’t find now ;D
Thank you so much for mentioning my cowl. That was so nice of you! I am glad you like it. I am working on fingerless mitts now to match.
Aw, thanks for the crush! We heart you back.
